The idea of a Christian America means different things to different people. Pollsters have found a wide circle of Americans who hold general God-and-country sentiments.

But within that is a smaller, hardcore group who also check other boxes in surveys — such as that the U.S. Constitution was inspired by God and that the federal government should declare the U.S. a Christian nation, advocate Christian values or stop enforcing the separation of church and state.

For those embracing that package of beliefs, it’s more likely they’ll have unfavorable views toward immigrants, dismiss or downplay the impact of anti-Black discrimination and believe Trump was a good or great president, according to a 2021 Pew Research Center survey.

    Ridiculous article with ridiculous assertions. I don’t know any Christians that desire a ‘Christian America’, and I live in the Bible Belt. The reason is because Christians understand that Christianity comes in many flavors; Baptists don’t want Methodists making the rules, Catholics don’t want Protestants in charge, etc. Article is simple inflammatory click bait.
